Asari Music was born in the Bono Ahafo Region of Ghana and has been singing since her teenage years. “I snuck out to the studio for the first time at age seventeen. From that day, I began visiting more studios and attending music network workshops. Of course, my friends always covered for me when my parents called to ask where I was,” she fondly recounted. Judging from the fact that she was a good student who received various honours, her parents believed her whenever she used the excuse of studying to stay late after school. She is currently a senior on a Dual Degree Program. When Asari is not at the studio, she fills her time with studying as she is someone who takes her studies as seriously as she takes her music career.
She hopes to motivate young musicians who are in school that it is possible to actively pursue and excess in both disciplines. As a student, Asari understands the struggle that comes with wanting to pursue a career in music while still in school especially in an African household and hopes to break the stigma it comes with. Despite her remarkable achievements, Asari describes her journey as one that has been riddled with many challenges and hurdles but says she has always drawn strength from her sound to surmount them all. She fondly describes music as her safe haven as it makes her feel seen in the midst of the chaos.
Asari music hopes to continue releasing music with more new bangers. The star has more to come and everyone should be on the lookout.
